As there has been talk of 'thorough testing' and in light of the recent posts trying to steer this thread into a different direction I thought I'd share my own recent tests. Not really Rev related, but as I'm sure everyone here does regular and thorough backups this may be of interest to one or tw

Hi I found out from a complaint about one of my posts that some of the readers of this list get it in digest form instead of individual emails and it is difficult for them to ignore posts by headings (they have to scroll through them). So that might be why they're complaining. After I got the comp
